COMPARE

Compare two species

Two published records side by side, field by field. Each row says in words whether the two sides are the same, differ, or only one holds a record, and each empty cell says why it is empty. Only published records appear, and every value carries its reference.

General description	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase places this snapper in the family Lutjanidae, subfamily Etelinae, within the series Eupercaria, and describes a marine, reef-associated fish of deep water. Max length is recorded as 120 cm TL, common length as 50.0 cm SL, and maximum reported age as 20 years. The figure of 66.3 cm is a maturity length rather than a maximum; its range opens at 52 cm and the source leaves the upper bound unstated.

Morphology	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records 10 dorsal spines with 11 dorsal soft rays, and 3 anal spines with 8 anal soft rays. The source describes a flat interorbital space, a maxilla covered with scales, dorsal and anal fin bases without scales, an upper caudal lobe that becomes greatly elongated as growth proceeds, and scale rows on the back running parallel with the lateral line. Colour is given as deep pink to red on the back and upper sides, pink on the lower sides and belly, with pink to red fins; the body is fusiform with an oval cross section.

Habitat and distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	The source gives a marine, reef-associated species of deep water, with a depth range of 45 - 400 m and usually 90 - 400 m. FishBase describes adults as inhabiting rocky bottoms of the continental shelf and continental slope, and classes the species as benthopelagic.

Feeding	The register holds no row for this field.	FishBase records a diet of small fishes, squids and crustaceans. The source adds that the species is considered an important food fish in some areas, is marketed fresh and frozen, and is highly valued for the quality of its flesh. Reference 50 — FishBase species summary — Biology · verified	Only the second has a record
Distribution	The register holds no row for this field.	Global range: FishBase gives an Indo-Pacific distribution, from East Africa eastward to the Hawaiian Islands, north to the Sea of Japan and south to Australia (Queensland and New South Wales) and Lord Howe Island, with records off the Kermadec Islands, northeast of New Zealand. The source also reports the species from the Marquesas, and warns that the name Etelis carbunculus has been misapplied to it by some earlier authors.

An empty cell describes the register, not the animal: it does not mean the value is zero, or that science does not know it. A row carrying a state phrase ("unknown", "not recorded in the source") holds an explicit record saying so. A local name recorded for a sea is not an occurrence record, and a value two records share does not make them one record.

What the words in the comparison column mean

Same: Both sides hold the same value.
Differs: Both sides hold a value, and the two values are not the same.
Only the first / only the second has a record: The other side holds no row in the register for this field, and its cell says why.
Neither has a record: Neither side holds a row for this field.
Each has its own: A field whose two values are not compared: two identifiers, two plates; each record has its own.
